How it works

Three steps. Ten minutes. One very good gift.

1

Upload their photos

One or two clear shots per person. They become the characters, in any of nine art styles, and they stay recognizable on every page.

"Dad, my sister, and the dog. All three."

2

Tell us the story

How you met. The fishing trip that went wrong. Dad's 60th as a heist. A sentence is enough; our studio writes the script, panels, and dialogue.

"Mom saves the neighborhood before the school run."

3

Preview free, then keep it

Read the first pages in minutes, free. Love it? Unlock the whole comic, redraw any page you're not sure about, and order it printed with a dedication.

I cannot wait to give this to my husband! He's gonna be so excited to read it to our son at bedtime. Great quality! I love that he gave a preview before printing and shipping. He noticed that my son's hair was different and suggested we update it. He focused on all the little details and did an amazing job. 1000/10 recommend!!

I came in with a very particular vision for two custom comics and he brought them to life perfectly. He was patient and responsive. My husband absolutely loved the final result. Highly recommend!

I got this for my husband for his first Father's Day. The seller took an idea and my feedback and made an amazing gift! So excited to give it to him on Father's Day.

This was such a fun experience making a comic book for our daughter and her best friend! Great communication and he changed everything I asked, even when I asked for a thousand changes! I'll be doing this again!

★★★★★ Jenny · May 2026

Wonderfully crafted! Just as described. Made a dream come true with my late brother on a vacation trip with him through Estes Park Colorado with his car. The final product looks so great.

Nine art styles

Same person. Nine ways to draw her.

Pick the style that fits the story and the person. Faces stay recognizable in every one.

The reference photo used for all nine stylesthe photo we started from

One photo in, nine looks out.

Every tile above was drawn from this single photo. That's what happens to the people in your comic: they're still them, just in a world with more explosions.

What it costs

From $19.99 — and you see it before you pay.

Build the whole thing free. We draw the first pages with their real faces in them, you read them, and only then do you decide whether to keep it. No subscription, nothing to work out up front.

Questions

Things people ask before they hit start.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. Sign up, upload photos, tell us the story, and we draw the first pages free. You only pay if you want the rest of the comic.

Will it actually look like them?

That's the whole point. Every character is drawn from the photos you upload and stays consistent from page to page. Clear, well-lit photos of the face work best. If a page misses, redraw it; The Comic includes spare pages for exactly that.

How long does it take?

The free preview takes a few minutes. The full comic is usually ready within the hour. Printed books ship free worldwide with standard delivery, about three weeks; faster delivery is offered when you order the print.

Is it made with AI?

Yes, and directed by you. Our studio's illustration models draw every panel from your photos and your story, and you review, redraw, and approve pages before anything is printed. Prefer a fully hand-finished comic? Our white-glove service on Etsy does that.

Can I write the story myself?

Absolutely. Give us a sentence and we'll script it, or write the whole plot and dialogue yourself. Inside jokes encouraged.

What do I get?

A digital comic you can read online and share by link. The Keepsake adds a professionally printed, saddle-stitched comic book with a dedication page, shipped free worldwide.

Can I make one for kids?

Yes. Kids' comics are some of the most popular. Keep the story sweet or silly and choose a friendly style like watercolor, manga, or classic American.

Ready when you are

Somebody you love is about to be on a cover.

Free preview. No card. About ten minutes from photo to first page.
